Hi, Robert,
It took me long enough to get here for reasons which really aren't of
any interest to anyone,  so by way of explanation, I probably came to
your attention because I have listened to most of Rush's broadcasts -
all three hours daily - since 1989 and frequently said so to echo
participants who tried to say things about Rush's which were
profoundly untrue.  I don't mean to proclaim a slavish devotion to
Rush.  I simply want to establish the fact that I am very familiar
with his shows - the difference between the views of his listening
audience and his callers.
As to impeachment, I agree that it would be far easier to impeach
Reno. Reno does not have the same backing of the Democratic party, the
labor unions, and the Chinese communist government that Clinton does.
Even Algore, the fund-raiser-in-chief Tennesee Farkleberry, would be
much easier to impeach than Clinton - at least according to popular
opinion.  Both Algore and Reno have openly flouted the law.  In an
honorable country, they would both have been removed from office
before their words got into print.
At the same time, though, it must be noted that Clinton has been
legally impeachable since before he entered the presidential race.  I
mention just one of the many reasons below:
While still governor, Bill Clinton pressured David Hale to make an
illegal loan from David Hale's Small Business Administration
investment company which went to Jame McDougal's wife.  The McDougals
were partners with the Clintons in Whitewater Development Co.  Mrs.
McDougal spent the money on many things, such as tennis lessons,
country club dues, and payment of credit card bills.  But the most
significant in a legal context was that she gave a portion of her loan
to Whitewater Development.  It is of prime importance that Bill
Clinton and probably everyone in the Clinton administration perjured
themselves by swearing up and down under oath that this didn't happen.
Then when the Whitewater convictions came sending David Hale and Jim
and Susan McDougal to jail for this very crime, Bill and Hillary were
not named only because it was the others that were being tried.  Bill,
who demanded that Hale loan the SBA money to Susan ('she earned the
money, give it to her') escaped because Starr had forgotten to includ
them in the indictment for some mysterious reason:)  This and the
following are just some of the crimes which, if enforced, would have
removed Clinton from the office of governor (if a governor of Arkansas
is convicted of a felony, he is automatically removed from office) and
prevented him from becomming President:
18 USC 1006, which makes it a crime to share 'directly or indirectly'
in any payment made in violation of federal laws governing small
business investment companies. Penalty:  Up to 30 years in prison,
$1,000,000 fine.
        
18 USC 1344, criminalizing frauds on financial institutions. Penalty:
Up to 30 years in prison, $1,000,000 fine.
After Willie became president, he discussed possible federal jobs for
Arkansas state troopers who had knowledge about potentially
politically damaging stories of Clinton's marital infidelity and abuse
of Governor's office.
18 USC 201, which makes it a crime to offer or promise 'directly or
indirectly' anything of value to someone with the aim of influencing
that person's testimony under oath. Penalty:  Up to 15 years in
prison, a fine, and disqualification from any federal office of honor,
trust, or profit.
Quite frankly, I don't think that those who are squeamish about
impeachment would be squeamish any longer if they knew that such huge
criminal violations against Clinton were already proven.  And, of
course, there are more than a thousand other felony counts that could
be brought against him (on Filegate alone, there were over 1,400
classified personal background files which the Clintonistas had taken
from the FBI).

 RC> clear that she either perjured herself at that time or is
 RC> now commiting malfeasance under her own standards.
While I want to be clear about the foolhardiness of letting yet
another Reno-appointed independent counsel bury even more evidence, I
also want to be clear in noting the documented proof that Algore
admitted breaking the law (18 USC 607a). When Reno said she found no
indication that a law had been broken, she was guilty of abjectly
refusing to enforce the laws of the United States.  As we all know,
the job of the Attorney General is to enforce federal laws, as it is
the President's job to see to it that the laws are enforced.
Practically it comes down to this:  Clinton has all the king's horses
and all the king's men (including John Glenn) protecting him.  Reno
doesn't.
... Established impeacheable offenses: obstruction of justice; abuse
... of power; noncompliance with congressional subpoenas.
